Chapter Five:

CPOV:

Sitting down in the room Clary allows the doctor to wrap her wrist silently cursing the whole situation she got herself into. Luke walks into the room glancing between Clary's wrist and her face void of all emotions. Clearing his throat Luke addresses the doctor.

"How's the patient doc?"

"Lucian, She's fine just a sprain wrist. Will probably ache for the rest of the day but that is all." Hodge smiled before gathering his tools together.

"Thank you, Hodge."

"No problem. But I would suggest taking it easy on that hand. No heavy lifting, no extended workouts. No punching a werewolf." Hodge glances at Luke with a smile. "And no sleeping on it. I would rather you not make it worse and then I would have to come back."

"She won't, I will make sure that she takes it easy for me."

"Good. Nice meeting you Clarissa. Lucian, I will send you my bill." With that Hodge grabbed her medical bag and walked out the room.

An awkward silence descended on them as Clary watched Luke closely as his eyes followed Hodge out with a bemused smile. Luke turned to find Clary watching him closely. Luke smiled at her fondly.

"So since your out of school today I wanted to know if you would want to spend the day with me. So that we can spend time together and you can get to know me better."

"Depends on what you have in mind. Remember, nothing too crazy." Clary holds her wrist out and shakes it in front of him.

"Nothing that will cause you to hurt your wrist. Trust me, Clary?" Luke held out his hand for Clary and she willingly put her hand in his.

"I mean I guess I don't have anything to lose."

"That's my girl."

Luke pulled up to the building turning to Clary excited.

"Welcome to our first official date." He winked at her allowing her to take it in.

"We are going ice skating?" Clary giggled before turning to Luke. "I didn't take you for a guy who ice skates during the day while he changes to wolf at night."

Luke laughs getting out the car and walks over to Clary's door and opening it. "That's the thing, I am just full of surprises."

"There's this really cool mural inside that I think you will love," Luke said walking into the skating rink and heading straight to the register to pay for their shoes.

"You mean the one over there?" Clary asks pointing to the corner. "I've seen it, it's beautiful." Clary shrugs nonchalantly before smiling at him while she grabs her shoes.

"Beautiful somehow doesn't give it enough credit. The artist is amazing and I heard she was offered a small art night to sell her pieces and she turned it down."

"I turned it down because my work was not worth selling yet."

Luke paused before turning around to face her. "Your work…. You painted this?" He yelled before turning to the mirror than back at Clary.. "That means you turned down the gallery. Why?!"

Clary blushed before finding a seat and putting her skates on. "I did it a few years back and it was one of my few paying gigs. It went all to my savings and it opened the door to have a few more other mural paintings."

"That's amazing Clary… But it's signed though? Is that what you sign your work?" Luke asked as they moved to the skating floor…

"I wanted to be an artist on my own terms. People her my name and automatically associate it with my mothers and assume I'm a good artist without even paying attention to my work. So I have a different name for my artwork for that very reason." Clary spins in a circle and as she tries to push off but ends up sliding too far. She closes her eyes to brace herself to hit the ground but before she can strong arms grab her.

"You caught me," Clary said breathlessly looking into Luke's eyes.

"I'll always catch you, Clary. I'll always be there." Luke breathed his face inches away from Clary.

Clary tilted her head up just as Luke leaned towards her. He brushed his lips across hers once, twice, and as he tired the third time Clary's hand came up grasping the side of his head and pulling him towards her. Luke gasps in surprise as Clary uses the opportunity to thrust her tongue into his mouth and roll it. Luke moans into the kiss pulling Clary closer and nibbling on her bottom lip before breaking the kiss panting.

"That was….. Amazing… Wow… I… I didn't think you wanted to come anywhere near me. Let alone kiss me." Luke says pulling Clary up straight and fixing her top.

"It's not like I have a problem with you….. I just didn't like all the secrets. My whole life feels like it was built on a lie. I'm being attacked at every angle and it just doesn't feel good."

Luke nodded in understanding before grabbing her hand and skating off the floor. He took them to a closed out booth and sat down.

"Right here and right now I'll answer everything you want to know that has to deal with you and I. Your parents have their own story to tell. But you and I will get it all out right now." He gestured between the two of them.

"Why so many secrets?" Clary whispered glancing up into Luke's eyes.

"I don't know… I told them to tell you a while ago but they didn't. I had no say in how they tell you or when. That was completely your parents."

"Why are you so cool with this? You don't know me…"

"Clarissa, I've been watching over you for years and trying to make sure you're well protected and nurtured. I may not have walked up to you and have a conversation with you but I know you."

"So you watched me?" Clary raised an eyebrow at me.

"No, I had someone keep tabs on you like a bodyguard. When you and Simon went out and went down an Alley there was a guy-"

"With a knife who tried to rob us but there was this older guy who saved us." Reality dawned on Clary. "That was him…"

"Yes, it was him."

"And that guy? Jace?"

Luke sighed and closed his eyes briefly. "When you were just a newborn Jace's mother had him and his father was best friends with your father. His father suggested that you both mate together to ensure they both have a strong bloodline. Your father agreed but obviously, it didn't work out. Shortly after the agreement came with my father and we did a binding contract. I'm not even sure if he understands that it was something your father didn't take seriously."

Clary nodded in understanding before continuing on, "what happened with his cousin?"

"He tried to kidnap you out of your bedroom window and take you back to Jace and I'm not sure how this would have ended if he did. I'm not sure I would have got you back. But thankfully your guard caught him and held him until I got there."

"You saved me?" Clary's eyes went wide.

"No, I just prevented a dangerous situation from happening to my future wife. He could have got you on a private plane and not even talking to your parents about this."

"Thank you, Luke." Clary smiled pecking him on the lips.

Luke grabbed Clary's face in his smiling brightly, "Best date ever." He whispered before leaning in and kissing Clary soundly.

Well, there you have it guys! Luke and Clary on kissing terms and their first official date! What do you guys think?

Until next time guys!

Kiss Kiss babes;)!
